Samsungs 14nm at full speed 2.1ghz should break 2000 single core performance
More ghz doesn't necessarily translate into higher scores....
I haven't looked closely at that benchmark, but those scores are an aggregate of 4 different measurements. If the GS6 suffers in the memory management section (which is traditionally the case for Samsung devices), adding more GHz won't affect the overall score that drastically.
Please explain how clocking the main cores 600mhz faster won't drastically affect the score? The a57 cores are power houses and clocking them 600mhz faster will make a huge impact on performance and scores.
This soc is also using ddr4 with the highest memory bandwidth available
I haven't seen any 810 scores yet and from what I read all phones at ces that were benched were being throttled and we're no where near these benchmarks
I might've meant the 801 - my bad.
Whatever the case, point is - higher clock doesn't necessarily mean higher benchmark.
And with regards to the clock speed being the only difference, while I'm sure there will be a boost, it's not the only determining factor.
The 801 is based off of a hybrid a9 and a15 arm core and from memory has 12-13 step pipeline.
The 805 is the same core clocked higher.the new exynos is a whole new architecture using a57 cores and clock for clock are 57% faster then arm a15 cores And going by this bench well over 100% faster clock for clock then the 801 and 805 cores

Exynos S6 then.
If the performance gap is anything near true, you can't blame Samsung.
Geekbench is a great CPU benchmark
Qualcomm chips are less in demand with Apple sales being through the roof
Samsung is a big customer and they are pulling their flagship SOC in house. Partly I'm sure for a competitive advantage as they look to shake things up in 2015.
Their shares are down for a good reason.
If comparing same platform to same platform I agree beyond that I don't.
It's about time the US got the same version as the rest of the world....

I think what most don't agree with is attributing the benchmark to some real-world performance standard which is dependent upon a variety of things.
Even cross-platform, if you take the benchmark for what it is (a measurement of raw power of the SoC), it's a good comparison.
Try not to read more into it than there is. The benchmark 5400 means nothing unless you have something to compare it to.
I got a 7000 point improvement in my GB (~18,000 to ~25,000) by installing OS X on my computer. Is OS X worth 7000 points improvement over Linux with same setup? Did my processors get magically faster? I think the likely answer is GB is not written as well for Linux as it it for OS X. Comparing GB scores on the same platform I'll go for comparing Android to iOS not so much.

Is this really what the GS6 will look like?

Hopefully Spigen are wrong on this one, it still looks very GS5ish.
Agreed on the M9 leaks....that will be my next phone.Does seem to be some correlation between the two.
Probably it is going to look like this so. I just hoped they would have gone one more step with the new s6 design wise over the alpha & note 4.
The M9 renders / leak look more premium.
Problem is most apps are still heavily single-core reliant. Some apps go dual and a very minute number use 4 or 8 or whatever the kids are into these days.
